Poultry Magazines UK

There are a number of poultry magazines available in the UK for the hobby poultry keeper. Each caters for slightly different people and needs.

Below you will find a list of all the poultry magazines I know of in the UK with some information about each one. I have created a separate page with a selection of my favourite books covering various aspects of keeping poultry here.

Probably the UK’s best-selling chicken magazine, catering for hobbyist chicken keepers at all levels. With informative articles and features on a plethora of chicken keeping subjects, it has the hobby well covered.

If showing poultry interests you, then Fancy Fowl should be at the top of your list! Covering showing, keeping, conservation of poultry and waterfowl, including in-depth articles on breeding to standard with tips from some of the top fanciers in the hobby.

If you have an interest in self-sufficiency and ‘the good life’, then Country Smallholding may be the magazine for you. A separate magazine included called ‘Poultry’ (shown left) is packed with advice on keeping chickens, breeds, shows and poultry related products.

A monthly publication aimed at the small producer and self-reliant household. With features on smallholding, including poultry and waterfowl, livestock (including alpacas) and bees, news, what’s on, how to guides, property and machinery,

Poultry World is the leading publication for the commercial poultry farming sector in the UK. Covering egg, broiler, turkey, duck and goose production with an emphasis on providing practical business and technical information.

Published three times a year for members of the British Waterfowl Association. It offers advice, information and exchange of views. Through the magazine, there are opportunities to attend national, regional and local events which I can highly recommend.
